Cats,however,,are often seen as more independent(a独立的).They may seem to show attention mainly when they want food or play.There is a funny saying.It says,Dogs have owners,.cats have employees(雇员).” This makes us wonder who chooses to become"a cat's employee". ②There are stereotypes(刻板印象)about pet owners.“℃at people'”are often thought to be more independent and a little unusual,while"dog people"are seen as friendly and easy to stay with in our mind.Psychologist Sam Gosling from the University of Texas studied these ideas.The researcher(a研究人员)found that cat owners liked spending time alone better..They were often more curious and creative.Dog owners,on the other hand,were usually more outgoing,energetic, relaxed and loyal. ③■ They found users who posted pictures of dogs had more online friends 八年级英语试卷第5页（共12页) and shared more happy feelings like being proud and excited.Cat owners were more likely to be single and sometimes shared feelings of being tired or sad.However,they also showed more intellectual interests.They liked to search more pages about books,TV shows,movies, and fantasy stories. 4It's important to remember that there are also exceptions-some cat owners are very outgoing,and some dog owners are worriers. 5People probably choose pets that match their personalities ()It makes sense for a quiet person to choose a cat,and an active person to choose a dog.But the change might go both ways.The pet might also shape the owner's life.As Gosling notes,a shy dog owner might not become the life of the party,but their daily walks could lead to more conversations with neighbors. 49.What does the underlined sentence"Dogs have owners,cats have employees."mean? A.Dogs and cats are both the most popular pets B.Cats usually listen to owners but dogs don't. C.Humans should work for both dogs and cats. D.Cats don't depend on owners so much as dogs. 50.What did Sam Gosling find about cat owners? A.They were more energetic in their daily life. B.They were worried about almost all of the things C.They enjoyed staying alone and were more creative D.They liked staying with others and were more curious. 51.Which sentence is the most suitable for the blank" ▲ ”in paragraph3? A.Many people like sharing pet photos on social media. B.Dogs and cats are the most ordinary pets for peoples. C.Researchers also used social media to study the subject. D.Social media is popular among young people nowadays. 52.Which idea may the writer agree with? A.Pets and their owners can change each other. B.Pets can not change their owners'lives at all. C.Those stereotypes about pet owners are correct all the time. D.Dog owners are too busy walking dogs to talk with neighbors. C 1Today,social media is very important in most teenagers'lives.Apps like TikTok and WeChat change how young people make and keep friends.People talk a lot about this change. Does social media help or hurt teen friendships?The answer isn't simple because it has both good and bad sides. 2Clearly,using social media has some good points.First,it makes staying in touch very easy. If a close friend moves to another school or city,you can still talk every day and see each other's photos.It feels like the friend is not far away.Second,for quiet or shy students,talking online can make them feel safer and easier.They can think about what to say.This can sometimes help them be more confident when talking in real life.Also,social media helps teens find groups that love the same things,like a game or music.This helps them make new friends from different places. 3However,we can't ignore the problems social media brings since they are really there. One big worry is that it can make teens compare()with each other.People usually post the best parts of their lives-happy photos from parties or trips.When teens see these perfect posts, they may feel their own lives are boring or not good enough.This can make them sad or worried. Another problem is that texting (can cause misunderstandings.It's hard to tell if someone is joking without seeing their face or hearing their voice.Worst of all,friendships can become all about getting more 'likes'and comments ()Teens might care more about popular posts than real talks with friends. 4So,what should we do?The key is to find a healthy balance.Social media is a tool,and we 八年级英语试卷第6页（共12页） need to use it wisely.Teens should use it to help real-life friendships,not to take the place of them. It's a good idea to set a time limit (for using these apps every day.More importantly,spend more time on outdoor activities,hobbies and face-to-face talks with friends.Remember,a true friend is someone who cares about you and shares real moments,not just someone who gives you likes'. 53.The meaning of the underlined word“ignore'”is“ ”. A.understand clearly B.enjoy very much C.improve quickly D.pay no attention to 54.What does the writer suggest teenagers do in their daily life? Dset a time limit while using social media 2stop using their social media apps ③ry to get more“likes'”from online friends 4compare their schoolwork with others' 5have more face-to-face talks with friends 6have a balance between social media and real life A.①④⑥ B.①⑤⑥ C.②③⑤ D.②④⑤ 55.What is the article mainly about? A.Why teens love social media and who uses it wisely. B.Why teens love social media and how to choose its apps. C.Social media's good/bad sides on teen friendships and wise use. D.Social media's good/bad sides on friends and which apps to use 56.What's the structure of this passage?(1=Paragraph 1,2-Paragraph 2..) A.①/②③/④ B.①②/③/④ C.①/②/③④ D.①②/③④ ① Grown-ups (never understand anything on their own,and it is tiring for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another job,and learned to fly airplanes.I lived my life alone,without anyone that I could really talk to,until I had an accident ()with my plane in the desert of Sahara six years ago.Something was wrong with my plane.

Before I could speak,he repeated,"Draw me a sheep!" I had never drawn a sheep before,but I was so surprised and lonely that I did as he asked.I drew a simple sheep,but he shook (his head,"No,that one is sickly.Make another."I tried again,but he said,"This one has too many horns ()It's not what I want."I drew a third,and a fourth,until I grew tired."I don't know how to draw sheep any more,"I said,handing him a piece of paper with nothing on it."Here's a box.The sheep you want is inside it." To my surprise,his face lit up,"That's just what I need!Does it eat a lot of grass?" “Of course.Why do you ask?” "Because where I live,everything is very small.I need a sheep that won't eat up all my r0ses.” Roses.The word made me think of the time I was six years old.I found a book named True Stories from Nature,and there was a picture of a huge snake swallowing (an elephant.I showed it to grown-ups and asked if it made them scared.They said,"Why would a hat make us scared?"I explained it wasn't a hat-it was a huge snake with an elephant inside.But they told me to stop talking about snakes and elephants.They said I should focus on my spelling and arithmetic ()That's when I realized grown-ups never see the true meaning of things.I put away my drawing and decided not to explain anything to them any more 八年级英语试卷第7·页（共12页） The e pInce pullod me back to the proscnt,"Will you promise (the shcep won't out TOUCs7" "promsc.]d.入ndn凸momenl,.I know I had finally found someone I could女ko. 一人dlapted from Lilile Prince 57.Whm cnn we infer (fom the writer's oxperionco with grown-ups whon he was six?
